New Player Options in Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse | Nerd Immersion

I know Path of the Giant was the last subclass, but I feel like they missed a good opportunity to polish the planar themed subclasses like Horizon Walker and Oath of the Watchers. Especially since they added new ways to detect portals, which was one of the Horizon Walker's features. They could update Detect Portal to being able to cast Warp Sense X number of times for free and give it an extended range. Oath of the Watchers could literally just get Gate Seal in place of Aura of Purity on their subclass spell list.

I still cant believe that a book about PLANESCAPE has no new races

Either official backgrounds matter in 5e or they don't. Personally i think the AcqInc background are the most entertaining and clever background in D&D. Failed Merchant, Celebrity Scion and Rival Intern are incredibly flavorful and also incredibly appropriate for D&D.

This book would have been a good chance for them to bring back the spells, dimensional lock and dimensional anchor.

Playing a Horizon walker in planescape will be interesting.

That sensory stone could have some... Interesting uses.

Warp Sense is weird. You can accomplish the first part of the spell with Detect Magic, because a portal is Conjuration Magic. But then the part about the portal key that's supposed to make it unique and useful to the setting, you can fail at and have to recast the spell to read the portal again? Not a fan.

they havent really given good character options for quite some time. tashas was the last time we had any real amount of them and fizbans and bigby's felt like they should have had at least a subclass for every class based on dragons and giants respectfuly

I really like the planer feats. I am really thinking about them for some of my characters.

Thanks for the coverage Ted! I did not pre-order after the colossal burn that was Spelljammer. Still, looking forward to seeing you cover the rest of the book and get your thoughts.

The Mimir cd is from A Player's Primer to the Outlands, not The Great Modron March.

The big problem with warp sense spell is that 30 feet is a complete joke. How often will you be within 30 feet of a portal you can't recognize just by looking at it. It's like the same problems from the Horizon Walker ranger and the Find Traps spell. Should have used locate object as the underlying base for the spell and give it that 1000-foot range. I do like the knowledge of destination and portal key, that's good, but I wish that either it was a ritual with a very minor cost (10-50 gp consumed material component) or that it had a vastly higher range. Maybe I'm wrong, but I predict that it will join the long list of niche spells that no one ever actually uses.

Finally some Planescape content!

The feats are definitely useful and thematic(dhamphir scion of evil is basically more vampiric) however the magic items and spells are lacking. They didn't add any cool summoning spells or anything and the range on the sense is super short. Magic items, well considering this is planescape, they could of added all sorts of items in from the various planes to represent how sigil is trading hub of exotic goods. The compass is completely meh, wish it helped find portals you wanted to go to in a way like Jack sparrows compass.

Stasis strike magic missiles ? Fallen aasimar narcotic shroud was it banful that did narcotic damage?

Am I spoiled by other books and systems or do these books seem light on player options?

I never realized Ted was a swifty! Lol

... I am interested however I am hesitant to trust WotC. I was super excited for spelljammer but was really disappointed. I would love to have an advanced fantasy game like space faring teleporting civilization but it always seems like I will have to home brew or count on 3rd party for it. 😅

I'm ok with Planescape not having many player options, as most subclasses are already plannar themed (horizon walker, oath of the watchers, all the feywild and shadowfell subclasses, everything warlock or sorcerer...) Better use that limited page count for more lore and adventure potential.

i pre-ordered the book but every time i go to access any of its material it sends me to the shop to pre-order the book. what am i doing wrong?

Is deck of many things not set for this year anymore ?

So does Planechase actually have setting info for different planes? I read it only covers Sigil and the Outlands.

Bear Totem Barbarian Law Scion.

So...no Bariaur or Rogue Modron? Or are they in the bestiary?

The options given are the bare minimum. I'm sensing a Spelljammer adventures in space repeat.

The book feels rly hollow and/or shallow with the lack of player options, no subclasses, no new races(they scrapped modron race) and too few of everything else

These are neat, but NGL, im a little frustrated that once again they've made special backgrounds that are much better for casters than martials. :/ They just can't help themselves.

I hate feats that are only useable in certain campaigns….L

We getting Guardinals?

I really prefer a little more serious tone in my games…but that sensation stone just screams poop jokes to me.

Unfortunately Ted Planescape isn’t out for us unless you bought the digital and physical bundle. Also you’re forgetting about the Book of Many Things next month when you said this was the last one. There’s still one more (official book) looming on the horizon. 😅

No more book for the rest of this year... look at the book of many thinks I have pre-ordered coming out at the end of the month.....ummm okay Ted

Sorry if I am offending anyone. Regarding the book (deck) of many things, it was originally created by Gary Gygax and I believe Dave Arneson. It's a chaotic item to say the least and it's created by a autistic Paladin according to the new "lore"? This is for me more of an Arcane item, maybe made with the help or duped by a God or Demi God (Chaotic) Doesn't make sense at all that it is made by a Paladin of all classes. Which also coincidently is the so called author who is putting her name on (gender or autism is more than fine by me (not the issue here), I have a friend for 30 years who has Asbergers, and gender has nothing to do with it. It's something she as an author never created, and the cannon is that this author made that item now. Does this not bother anyone at all? It's Wizards of the coast just rebranding another product which they own the IP to. Lately (last "good" product Wotc made was rime of the frost maiden) they seem to just copy/remake great products into what is not even great doing that (Spelljammer, Planescape, "Dragonlance", sadly I could go on). Imagine your best friend was an amazingly talented writer and died, now you see that this is being "stolen" and another author is actually taking credit for your friends work. Wotc need to make campaign settings, Sourcebooks with info, lore, more books full of new feats, skills etc. Now they just do what Bilbo Baggins said : "I feel like butter scraped to thin on a piece of bread" (you get what I mean)? Seeing how sales have dropped a lot after Candlekeep and have just kept falling (physical books), I am sad to see that Wotc is producing materiel that is lacking in every department I mentioned over. Then again released sales number reflects this IMHO, for 70$ we all deserve much better products for 5e now and the "revised" 5e. Very late, apologies for it being written "rushed".

Welp I watched this hoping for some content I could copy with the homebrew feature of DnDBeyond and honestly there’s no a single thing that is worth it. Planescape is the single greatest story of all time and this lackluster content is an insult to fans.

Planar Wanderer is a awful waste of feat, no one give a single buck to revise the feat with One DnD Language, without the +1ASI on the feat it turns in a complete prohibitive choice if you doesn't want to stay behind from the entire party for the rest of the game, that is very sad because the feat is cool but impossible to pick

My opinion: This is pathetic. All the rich lore, all the myriad planes, all the denizens of Sigil, and this is all they gave players? And most of the book is lore fluff to boot? Down right insulting. Backgrounds, even with feats attached, are the barest sliver of PC content. Not a single new lineage/race? No new subclasses? A paltry 2 spells!!! This book infuriates me even more than the Spelljammer book. That at least showed some effort and love, this... gods, this set is just ticking me off the more I see of what's in it. I don't need the lore of Planescape reiterated to me, I have my 2e books and countless wikis.

I won't be buying this set, it's all meh for 70$, overpriced subpar product, as a setting book it should have much more about the different planes, lore, more of everything, like the Ebberon setting which I guess the only real settings book released for 5th edtion. I have already seen a lot of reduced prices for more or less any new and some "older" products from Wotc. Good video though Ted👍.

meh

This is pathetic wizards is lazy as can be and has proven 100% that the slipcase doesn’t work

Ted is a scam artist.

It's gonna be disappointing I am pretty damn sure wotc took the most important stuff out of it. Thing is my friend plane scape should be installments, specifically box set for the city of sigil...faction will make you wanna vomit Planescape paved the way for 3rd edition
